Shoreline Link Plan Sparks Heated Long Beach Hearing
A city planning hearing on a shoreline freeway loop from the Long Beach Freeway terminus to Alamitos Ave. devolved into a storm of protests led by the Public Beach Improvement Assn. Dr. Russell Brougher opposed the plan claiming the beach should belong to the people, not Watts and Los Angeles, while critics warned it could invite further freeway expansion and threaten bluff property.
